Event Description:

To maximize the productivity and efficiency of any business, be it a new startup or an established company, it is essential to have access to the right information, knowledge, and assistance! To remain competitive and profitable requires a lot more than just being able to organize a workforce. Getting an outside perspective provides advice which is not tied to emotional or personal decisions and can help you remain competitive and profitable.

If you are a small business owner (or want to be) you can't be expected to know it all! Our free business coaching/consulting service from the Small Business Development Center can help you to develop a better understanding of the market and prevailing conditions, identify strength and weaknesses, put together a comprehensive marketing plan or obtain financing to grow your business - to name just a few options.

1.5 hour appointments at the Peabody Area Chamber of Commerce are scheduled on a first come, first serve basis on the 2nd and last Tuesday of each month between 10am-2:00pm. Call 978-531-0384 today to schedule your free and confidential apt today!
